This test fails for me as written, since the previous test leaves some files in an unmerged state. Patch 1 below works around that.

Ah, I see the problem now. But it would be even nicer to allow arbitrary rev-list options, so a person could ‘git cherry-pick --reverse a..b’, for example.

In other words, how about something like patch 2 below?
Patch 3 is a small cleanup, as a bonus.

  revert: accept arbitrary rev-list options

  t3508 (cherry-pick): futureproof against unmerged files
